J: Robert Havlin

T: Richard Phillips

Won on turf for Andrew Balding last year but started off for this stable with three low-key Polytrack runs this summer; needs to up his game.

J: Jonny Peate

T: Richard Phillips

Emphatic winner of a Leicester novice (6f, good to firm) for Andrew Balding in July last year, but inconsistent since and well held in both starts since returning for this yard last month; others preferred.

Novice winner over 6f on turf last summer and finished third of nine in a handicap at Newcastle (6f, AW) in January; left Andrew Balding for 10,000gns and beat only one home at Kempton a month ago (6f; 66-1).

J: Robert Havlin

T: Richard Phillips

Won a Leicester novice (6f, good to firm) last July and he was third of nine in a handicap at Newcastle (6f, AW) in January; down the field on his final start for Andrew Balding and now makes his stable debut (bought for 10,000gns) after 153 days off; watch the betting.

J: P J McDonald

T: Andrew Balding

Made all to win a 6f novice at Leicester last summer and a return to positive tactics saw him return to form when third at Newcastle two weeks ago (6f); P J McDonald replaces a 7lb claimer; easy lead seems unlikely in this field, however.
